What will happen if I stop the task?
Generally, stopping the task aborts its operation (backup, recovery, validation,
exporting, conversion, migration). The task enters the Stopping state first, then
becomes Idle. The task schedule, if created, remains valid. To complete the
operation you will have to run the task over again.
recovery task (from the disk backup): The target volume will be deleted and
its space unallocated – the same result you will get if the recovery is
unsuccessful. To recover the “lost” volume, you will have to run the task
once again.
recovery task (from the file backup): The aborted operation may cause
changes in the destination folder. Some files may be recovered, but some
not, depending on the period when you stopped the task. To recover all the
files, you will have to run the task once again.
